Restoring Hope Through Song: Vincent’s Leadership in Malawi
Dr. Vincent Chiwamba, a Haggai Leader from Malawi, is a testament to professional excellence and spiritually grounded leadership. In his role as Manager of Staff Performance and Organization Development within Malawi’s banking sector, Dr. Chiwamba serves his organization by cultivating high-impact teams and long-term development strategies. Yet his most profound influence unfolds beyond the workplace, among young people navigating formative years marked by uncertainty and change.
Despite the widespread presence of Christianity in Malawi, Dr. Chiwamba recognized a persistent spiritual gap. Many Malawian youth identify as Christians in name, yet lack a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Alongside this challenge, practical barriers such as limited financial resources often threatened to delay the vision God had placed on his heart, particularly in efforts to reach students through music-centered outreach.
Dr. Chiwamba credits the Haggai Leader Experience (HLE) as a decisive moment of restoration and clarity. Entering the experience with curiosity and anticipation, he emerged with renewed confidence and conviction. Reflecting on that turning point, he shared, “The HLE took away my fears, doubts, and hesitations. I realized that every delay meant more people living without encountering Christ, and that the work was not mine but belongs to the Lord of the harvest.” Grounded in this renewed understanding, he returned home equipped to act decisively on the vision he had long carried.
Utilizing his strategic thinking skills, refined through the HLE, Dr. Chiwamba recognized that his musical gifts could serve as a highly effective method for engagement among the next generation. Applying the same organizational discipline that shapes his professional work, he established the Gospel Enterprise Music Ministry as a peer-to-peer model rooted in youth leadership. The ministry partners with secondary schools, colleges, and universities across Malawi to host free gospel music concerts where students minister to fellow students. Musically gifted youth are identified, trained in both musicianship and gospel communication, and invited to serve alongside nationally recognized gospel artists and trusted preachers. In these spaces, music becomes a strategic bridge, drawing students in and opening hearts to restoration through Christ.
Since October 2021, more than 2,500 students have received Christ through these concerts, encountering the gospel not as an abstract belief but as a transformative reality that speaks directly to their lived experiences. For 2026, the theme is ‘Huge impact from negligible beginnings’ and they have set a goal to reach, “1000 souls.”
The impact of his work is evident in the stories of change within the local community. At a prestigious secondary school initially hesitant to host a Christian concert, approximately 150 students responded to the gospel during the first visit. Observable shifts in student behavior led school leaders to subsidize a return event, during which 200 additional students embraced faith in Christ. At a mission girls’ secondary school, close to 400 students responded to the gospel, resulting not only in new faith but also in reconciliation between students and administrators during a season of deep tension. Even in remote rural schools, where outreach efforts faced logistical challenges including vehicle accidents and fuel shortages, hundreds of students encountered Christ and demonstrated lasting behavioral change.
Rooted in the Haggai model, the ministry now extends beyond concerts. Dr. Chiwamba and his wife provide practical support to underprivileged student members by offering seed funding for campus-based entrepreneurship and counseling in life skills, career preparation, and spiritual growth. As students return home during school breaks, they carry the message of hope with them, multiplying the impact of the gospel in families and communities across Malawi.
Dr. Vincent Chiwamba’s journey reflects the heart of the Haggai Leader Experience: unlocking vision and equipping leaders to return home as catalysts for gospel-centered transformation. Through faithful leadership and creative outreach, leaders like Dr. Chiwamba are shaping a future in which communities across Malawi, and beyond, encounter the enduring restoration found in Christ.
